out Of the discovery Of int alculsbe
quantities Of iron ore around 1t, is
simply amazing and challenges ths

OF money to pay for lots bought by

yesterday and today are in excess Of
all made before and at an advance Of
100 per cent. A bank is badly needed.

HUNGARY.

PEsTH, February l5.-The govern
ment today submitted to the lower
House of the Hungarian Diet a bill
sppropriating 100000 horins to cup
ply the Hungarian laudwehr aud the
army reserves with stocks of war ma
terial and to equip the first band of
the lands urn. All the parties in the
House after conference agreed to
vote for the passage of the bill without
debate. The measure was at ones re-
ferred to the Military and Financial
Committee OF the House. The pTeam-
BILE to the bill explains that the credits
asked for are demanded as a natural
sequence of the adoption of the bill
organizing the landsturm OF volunteer
ssrvice called out in time of war. The
preamble goes on to say that in view
of the military measures which other
European States are taking, it would
be serious omission for Austro- Hun
gary to longer refrain from equipping
the landsturm. The Empire, it adds,
is interested in peaceful progress the
efforts Of the government are directed
to maintain peace, but if it is not de-
sirable to De surprised the govern
ment must, like anyone unwilling to
sacrifice vital interests, be prepared,
in case Of necessity, to sacrifice every
thing in defense of the monarchy.

Choquart, and bounding toward me he
said, hurriedly: "Lend me a louis.
Quick l want to box Mouton's ears, and
delicacy requires that should first give
back the louis l owe him."
/ was at a loss to make out what he
meant.
Don't lend It'll don't lend It'll" cried
out those who were present.
At that time of life, especially, / had
strong reluctance to lend louis, so l
drew back.
The most amusing part of the story is
that Bouffe persuaded Mouton to believe
that he was no longer in safety.
"a louis, you see, is no large sum-"
said Bouffe; "Chequart is bound to have
a spare one some day, and he will carry
out his threat. If were you should
lend him twenty louis; he'll never be
able to give back so large sum, and
you are safe for the rest of your life"
So, after supper, Mouton offered to
lend Choquart twenty louis, who was
dumbfounded at the proposal He saw
the danger, but danger had special at
fractions for him. He pockcted the
gold pieces, and said to Mouton as he did
so:
"Never mind we are not quits yet.
The first time receive my pension you
shall get your ears boxed all the same"
Choquart, however, was never able to
command so fabulous sum as twenty
louis at any one time, nor to wreak
righteous vengeance on the offender who
had insulted and slandered his King
